THE BUZZ: Bethesda has announced that it will be bringing official Kinect support to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The update will be released for free sometime this month and will introduce over 200 voice commands. These will include Dragon Shouts, Hotkey Equipping, Follower Commands, and all Menus.

Players will also be able to quick save and load, as well as accessing the map and quick traveling via voice commands. A full list of commands will be revealed by Bethesda in the coming weeks.

EGM’s TAKE: We’re going to file this under the unnecessary update section. Everything that is offered in this update you can easily do with a controller just a couple of seconds slower. The only cool part will be shouting at your TV pretending to be a Dragonborn. Sadly even that will get old eventually. We would have much rather had those Dragon mounts than this.

What do you think of the update? Are you happy that Kinect has been added? Let us know in the comments below.
